No, don't sell yourself short, those are VERY good welds, sir

If you don't have the means to build your own stand, the harbor freight 2 ton stand holds no problem. Had my fully dressed duramax motor on it and there was zero flex. I welded a few bolts to the head to secure the load at angles. I may fab up a ratcheting chain crank to assist in rotating though.
I used an old gearbox reduction off an old set of tractor trailer landing gear
No doubt! Never even crossed my mind.:clap: GENIUS :clap:
